1. Welcome and opening remarks

California has been the national leader in deploying alternative fuels and vehicles, with tangible commercial progress for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles now visible. An update on the status and future considerations for California deployment of stations, passenger vehicles, transit buses and trucks will set the stage for the day’s discussions.

2. Early Commercialization—Reaching the Goal Line

The 2012 CaFCP Road Map outlined the need for an early station network. Government and industry worked together to help get the network started. Are we on track to reach the goal line for early commercialization? What do our industry and government leaders see as the major factors that will shape the next few years, and what changes should we make to help accelerate progress?

4. Influencing Factors—Market Acceptance

In April 2015, the first FCEV customers addressed the Executive Board. Since then, more vehicles have become available and more than 20 retail hydrogen stations have opened. What have individual members learned from this first wave of customers? What must we do to give the first thousand customers a positive experience? The next hundred thousand? What impacts will proposed advertising campaigns have on California’s FCEV market?

With initial success and a line of sight towards establishing the early network coverage objective, it’s time for CaFCP to address the transition to the next stage of the market. What market indicators and signals do government and industry need to enable greater investment and growth? Should CaFCP and its members consider new approaches, mechanisms and processes? What factors will help shape and lead to a common vision for hydrogen and FCEVs beyond 2020?

7. Establishing Medium- and Heavy-Duty Benchmarks

CaFCP has released the MHD Action Plan that contains priorty actions

needed to accelerate early FCET demonstrations. Recent funding rounds

will appreciably expand California FCEB deployments. Where are these

markets now, and what is needed to quicken commercialization? How are

member and non-member companies responding, and what is still

needed? What is the potential for leveraging progress across market

applications, and why should the the passenger vehicle market care?
